Hello again all,

I believe there is another topic titled “Using Automations to Check a Box When Record Matches Conditions”. (I posted there but got no answer)

That thread seemed to have strayed a little off track. Because while “Update Record” IS a condition that ‘could’ be used, it’s only one option. And the steps seem to be different for each “Action Type” selected.

So, if someone could walk me through another one, like “When a Record is Created”, I would greatly appreciate it!

So, WITH A SCREENSHOT (please), can someone please explain how to use an automation to check a box? I’m putting true, false, one’s and zero’s everywhere and nothing is working!

As always, THANK YOU! :pray:

DG

Your Record ID is wrong. You need to choose the record’s internal Airtable Record ID from step 1.

If you’re not sure what I mean, watch the animated GIFs on this page to see what to choose:

Hey Airtable chat team, can anybody help me out here??? I can’t figure out why this isn’t working for me!

I’m 100% sure that it’s operator error! It’s just that the ‘operator’ can’t get this one to work. lol

Thanks!

Hey ScottWorld, NOW YOU are my most favorite helper in the WORLD!!!

(and for the record, it was the GIF’s that sealed the deal!)

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Hahaha, that’s why they call me ScottWorld! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: You’re welcome!

Yeah, it’s strange that this very important piece of information is hidden away within animated GIFs in Airtable’s support article.
